This will be the place I put all the resource I've either created, used, or may be useful for others. I've also made a backup of the website into a PDF if you'd like to have a simple thing to have offline or in case this website ever goes down.
If you are trying to collect them all, a user, Arkadius made This easy/quick checklist. In order to use, be signed into your google account, hit File > Make a Copy.
The doc may not be as up to date, but it is still a valuable backup in case this site ever goes down. Feel free to make a copy to your google account, or download it to access offline.
While the Tips section is here, I decided that having the doc is still a valuable backup. Feel free to make a copy to your google account, or download to access it offline.

List of the sites I found useful.
The Xbox archive, it's good for finding old dates, pricing and all sorts of cool stuff from the past:
xbox.com/en-US/hardware/catalog
How I calculate dates of controllers(can easily change the year on the url):
I did use wiki to help with making the list here. But their list wasn't all that detailed and I preferred to write my own unique tidbits about each controller:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_controller
wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_retail_configurations
I also found XBLA Fans page about 360 controllers pretty useful.
xblafans.com/every-controller-ever-produced-by-microsoft-and-where-to-find-them-61617.html
Console variations is missing quite a bit, and sure I could be adding controllers I've found on there. Maybe one day, but it's a resource I've seen people use. It seems mainly better for Nintendo/pure consoles over controllers.

Old 2008 destructoid article about the Green and Red controller releases:
destructoid.com/xbox-continues-to-copy-the-n64-introduces-two-new-le-360-controller-colors
Old May, 2005 article on IGN about the 360 controller. It's interesting to go back and see it from a perspective before people knew much about the controller.

My daily eBay bookmark with filters to sort by new and only selling from NA. This has helped me find pretty much all the controllers seen here.
